Re: Seriously!Whatever she is looking for she is seriously violating copyright laws using all their images. I don't get how people think they can take all that for nothing?

Well, in all fairness, we don't know if they have been contacted yet or not, nor do we know the volume of the issues addressed in a given time period.

We don't know if they focus on one area at a time either. Maybe this week is E-bay, next week Amazon, next week Facebook. We have to do our part to try and follow rules, trust that they make it fair, and contact them with questions.

Did you contact them back with your frustrations on your situation and the policy?
